... obser- vation. The law of conservation of matter thus had to be abandoned and mass became a manifestation of energy. The law of gravitation has been recast, and the force of gravitation has become an effect of inertial motion, like centrifugal force. The ether has been abandoned, and the field of force of Faraday and Maxwell has become the fundamental conception of physics. The laws of mechanics ^ have been changed, and time and space have been bound' together in the four-dimensional world space, the dimen- si ...Lecture 4: The Characteristics Of Space A.

... icity and extremely low density, and it must penetrate all substances since no vacuum can be produced for this medium, because light passes through any vacuum. Hence it cannot be any known gas, but must be essen- tially different, and has been called the "ether." Whether the ether is a form of matter or not depends upon the definition of matter. If matter is defined as the (hypotheti- cal) carrier of energy (and all the information we have of matter is that it is the seat of energy) , then the ether is matter, ...Lecture 3: Gravitation And The Gravitational Fleld - 1 hit(s)

LECTURE III GRAVITATION AND THE GRAVITATIONAL FLELD A. THE IDENTITY OF GRAVITATIONAL, CENTRIFUGAL AND INERTIAL MASS As seen in the preceding lecture, the conception of the ether as the carrier of radiation had to be abandoned as incompatible with the theory of relativity; the conception of action at a distance is repugnant to our reasoning, and its place is taken by the conception of the field of force, or, more correctly, the en ...Lecture 17: Arc Lighting - 1 hit(s)

... ions. There are different forms of energy, all convertible into each other, as magnetic energy, electric energy, heat energy, mechanical momentum, radiating energy, etc. The latter, radi- ating energy, is a vibratory motion of a hypothetical medium, the ether, which vibration is transmitted or propagated at a velocity of about 188,000 miles per second; and it is a transverse vibration, differing from the vibratory energy of sound in this respect, that the sound waves are longitudinal, that is, the vibration is ...Lecture 2: Relation Of Bodies To Radiation - 1 hit(s)

... less and, as will be seen, is different for different frequencies. 22 RADIATION, LIGHT, AND ILLUMINATION. Assume then, in Fig. 15, a beam of light B striking under an angle the boundary between two media, as air A and water W, the vibration of the ether particles in the beam of light is at right angles to the direction of propagation BC, and successively the waves thus reach at blf a2 bz . . . As soon, however, as the back edge of the beam reaches the boundary at D its speed changes FIG. 15. by enter ...
